b. Request: ( X ) Recharacterization ( ) Change of Reason


2. Finding(s), conclusion(s), and reason(s) for the Board's decision(s) on issues of propriety and/or equity:

          a. Propriety:    The applicant has not submitted an issue of propriety and the ADRB has not otherwise relied upon an issue of propriety to change the discharge.

         b. Equity:       The parenthetical numbers below corresponds to the issue numbers on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above.
(1, 3) The issues are rejected, A review of the record shows the applicant, on 08 November 1993, indicated he had not been arrested, charged, cited, held or detained by Federal, State, or any other law enforcement or juvenile authorities. The record also shows the applicant had a previous conviction for conspiring to bring aliens into the United States. The Board determined the Command initiated the discharge within the applicant’s first 180 days of active service. The Board found from the evidence of record that the applicant received an uncharacterized separation while in an entry level status (ELS). The separation authority approved the applicant's discharge as entry level status, with the description of service as uncharacterized. A soldier is in entry level status for the first 180 days of continuous active duty. The purpose of the entry level status is to provide the soldier a probationary period. Soldiers who are found to lack the necessary motivation, adaptability, self- discipline, ability, or attitude to become productive soldiers may be expeditiously separated while in entry level status. A general discharge is not authorized under ELS conditions. An honorable discharge is rarely ever granted for an entry level separation. The Secretary of the Army, on a case by case basis, may determine that a characterization of service as honorable is clearly warranted by unusual circumstances involving personal conduct and performance of duty. The Board determined that the applicant's service did not warrant a determination by the Secretary of the Army nor an honorable discharge. Accordingly, the Board voted to deny relief.
